This is a natural Extremely Bright Carved Mexican Fire Opal.
This piece was made by Miguel Delgadillo a Wax Model Jeweller artist in Mexico City that has been teaching and working on the very heart of the Jewellery District of Mexico City for over 40 years.
Traditionally, jewelry models are produced by a jeweler who manually carves the wax with hand tools.
A wax model is part of the lost wax casting process. Instead of working directly in metal, the design is cast in wax. Jewelry waxes are not the same as soft paraffin or beeswax. They are hard and designed to be carved, filed, sawn and polished. Once the wax model is complete, it is covered with plaster coating and burned. The void left by the melted wax is the mold for the molten metal when it is melted.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
